Brain connectome: from synapse, large-scale network to behaviour. This project aims to investigate how behaviour shapes the large-scale network synchrony by determination of task-specific networks using whole-brain resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and its relationship with synaptic plasticity. Enhanced synaptic connectivity has been suggested as a mechanism of memory but the system-level circuit dynamics in memory process are not clear. The outcome is anticipated to brid ....Brain connectome: from synapse, large-scale network to behaviour. This project aims to investigate how behaviour shapes the large-scale network synchrony by determination of task-specific networks using whole-brain resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and its relationship with synaptic plasticity. Enhanced synaptic connectivity has been suggested as a mechanism of memory but the system-level circuit dynamics in memory process are not clear. The outcome is anticipated to bridge the knowledge gap between brain and behaviour.Read moreRead less
Decoding the brain network of memory formation. This project aims to uncover how the brain network supports the formation of long-lasting memory using cutting-edge imaging, intervention and computational modelling. The project is anticipated to generate new knowledge of the neural activity and circuitry that facilitate memory formation, and targets for modulating network activity and behaviour. This will have significant benefits for neuroscience, engineering and imaging, as well as future appli ....Decoding the brain network of memory formation.

The project is anticipated to generate new knowledge of the neural activity and circuitry that facilitate memory formation, and targets for modulating network activity and behaviour. This will have significant benefits for neuroscience, engineering and imaging, as well as future applications in humans with technology for detecting, predicting and modulating cognitive performance.Read moreRead less
